they never lost a home game. and now this. >> jesse: that's part of what makes a team like georgia unique. when you have senior leadership and guys in the big games and played and won national championships, it is moments like this that you have to rely on a guy like that. the bell cow, not just this offensive line, but the entire team. >> joe: and they get this thing to overtime. can georgia pull it out? he's been such an unbelievable spirited fight from the upset-seeking yellow jackets. beck with a man in his face. incomplete. looking for lovett. and the flag rains in. it was gibbs, who has been forced into action with all the injuries to the defensive back field of georgia tech. >> jesse: man. >> pass interference, defense number 16.

first down. >> jesse: they see the fighting in the back end, just way too much contact. still a catch lovett could have made. omar daniels is on the safety blitz. carson beck saw that coming from a mile away. he stood in there and still delivered an accurate throw. >> joe: kirby smart knows what it means to play in this heated in-state rivalry. clean, old-fashioned hate. ball on the 14 yard line. beck, he can't get three. fighting his way ahead as height was the first one to get to him. >> jesse: i think that's another play that carson beck has to hand this ball off. when you are coming off the defensive end and he's slow playing that, that's one you just give to the running back and let him take this thing outside.

if he's slow, let the running back go that way. lots of green outfront. another poor decision in the run game that time, the rpo >> joe: 2nd and 9. beck looking for anything. that is batted at the line of scrimmage. batted right down in his >> jesse: here's a question mark. if you are georgia tech, what do you want to do in this 3rd and long situation? do you want to play conservative and drop eight or do you decide to get aggressive and see if you can force carson beck's hand a little bit. big play call here for their defensive coordinator. >> joe: they're 4 of 10 on third down is georgia tonight. 3rd down and 9. beck looking to extend the play.

he's going to run for it. can he get there. diving effort right at the end, right at that line of the game. pushed out by thomas gore. and it's a first down bulldogs. >> jesse: it is the right decision. nothing open down field right away. carson beck, i'm going to let my athleticism take this thing over. again, better athlete than people give him credit for, is able to pick up a huge first down. . >> joe: 1st and beck to the end zone. touchdown georgia! they're an extra point away. dominic lovett!

>> jesse: fantastic play call by mike bobo. they're working a pick play outside on a quick wheel from the slot to dominic lovett. picture perfect back shoulder throw. there is no defense for a perfect pass. so well executed by carson beck and dominic lovett. >> joe: peyton woodring has not missed an extra point this year. this to tie it. just a spectacular, gritty comeback by the dogs. >> jesse: this is a completely different-looking georgia offense now. this will be lovett. the pick helps to set a wall against the defender who has

outside leverage. and you just any better. it is the perfect throw, the perfect location. i saw carson beck earlier in the game frustrated. there were drops. they couldn't find a rhythm. and this offense has absolutely come alive here in the fourth quarter. >> joe: the spike squad is loving it. remember earlier tonight we told you, hey, georgia tech through the years has been in this position before, '78, 2013. they were up 20-0 at the half. they were up 17-0 at half tonight. but georgia, carson beck, timely defense, critical conversions, late rally, 61 seconds to go, and we're tied up 27-27. remember, all reasonable minds know it. georgia wins tonight, it doesn't matter what happens next week. they will be in the college football playoff.

if georgia tech wins tonight, it is do or die tonight. the season would be on the line for georgia. you can get the job done right here. >> jesse: he's got to bounceback now. he's had one bad play only, and that was on the last drive fumbling on 3rd and short. how does he respond? banged up. in a 2:00 situation here with two time-outs left, can he get in field goal range with an opportunity to win this thing? >> joe: king, just going to run it straight ahead and push back after a gain of about two and a half yards by stackhouse. >> jesse: you have to get up and go fast now. if you are haynes king, you are slow getting off the ground. he has taken so much punishment

here in this game. it doesn't look like georgia tech is really rushing that fast. two time-outs, i'm surprised they're not going quicker and playing with more urgency. >> joe: shallow underneath to chase lane. lane has some harda yardage her >> jesse: just smart by lane not trying to make that defender miss on the sideline. just get out-of-bounds and save as much clock as you can. >> joe: chilly night in athens. but the dogs have heated up with 14 points and just 2:59 to tie this game. and a time-out is going to be used by georgia.

kirby smart on one side. they fight against each other in this rivalry. remember, how the college football season began this year? we were over in ireland. louisiana state was a top ten team in the country and birr made a 44 yarder to win the game and upset then top ten florida state. of course, their season unravelled from there. so he's done it before. can he bookend the big drama kick? >> jesse: that game feels so long ago. you and i were sipping guiness, legendary. but i have to say this offense now probably about 20 yards away from getting into aidan birr's range. if you are georgia tech, you are thinking if we can get this to georgia's 35 yard line, we're giving our clutch kicker a big opportunity. >> joe: 51 is his long. he needs some real estate. they have the two time-outs.

here's haynes king. a drop eight into coverage. he goes underneath to the running back. haynes ball came out there at the other end. pass is incomplete. incomplete. >> jesse: i don't think he ever had control, possession or put it away before that ball hit the ground. and honestly, i'm not sure that's not better for georgia tech. it was going to be a minimal gain. if that was complete, that would have taken more time off the clock. >> joe: that's close. >> jesse: looking at it like super slowmo like that, you start to wonder. >> joe: 18 seconds remain. still the two time-outs for georgia tech. pressure on king. they pick it up. ball is in the air and falls harmlessly into the ground. >> jesse: man, cj allen just

completely blew chad alexander up. the running back was trying to pick up cj allen on the blitz. the linebacker ran right through. and watch this. boom. pushes him off. it gets there to the ball to knock it incomplete. >> joe: 3rd down and 13 seconds. they bring pressure again. they go shallow underneath to singleton. singleton returns the corner and with seven seconds remaining, he steps out just shy of the 45 yard line. >> jesse: okay. so you have got to get what you can get in seven seconds. you have one more play with two time-outs before you try to kick the field goal here. it will either be bang, bang right now on the sidelines.

or if it's over the ball, go down to clear yourself down, call a time-out and let aidan birr take the field. >> joe: a time-out is going to be used by brett key. aidan birr did have a struggle on a short kick tonight. this was off the upright. it shows you the success he's had in the beginning of the year in ireland. and then that miss earlier tonight. he has hit from 51 as his long. right now the ball is on the georgia 46 yard line. but seven seconds, jesse, and the time-out to you. so how do they approach it? >> jesse: well, it's got to be a bang-bang play. we have seen a lot of crossing

routes and drag routes. but you don't have time to allow a receiver to cross the face of the defense and find his way out the other side. this has to be catch the snap and throw. wow. they will now make it a 4th down. >> joe: and it was the officials who actually asked for the time-out, even though brett key was sitting there discussing it for a moment. so they are going to mark this short of that line to gain. and key himself a four-year starter at offensive line for georgia tech. played in this heated rivalry. >> jesse: he's going to call a time-out. >> joe: now he will call a

time-out. it was just a point of measuring first. >> jesse: it is the right time to use that, too. you don't have time left in this game to call another one anyways. you might as well talk about how you want to approach this. priority number one is get the first down, obviously. whatever you do, it's got to be quick so that you can allow yourself enough time to kick a field goal. >> joe: what a swing this is for georgia potentially. you win this game, you're 10-2, you're headed to the s.e.c. championship. you will not be punpunished. you get a third loss here tonight, it is all on the line against either texas or texas a&m. >> jesse: so much more pressure. but you got to love the way kirby smart's team has responded. nothing was going their way on offense, defense or special teams in that first half. but they just kept fighting. they stayed resilient and figured it out enough to now put themselves in this position.

>> joe: i mean, they marked it short. 4th and 1, seven seconds remain. the one time-out. will they get the opportunity and a time-out will be used by kirby smart and the dogs. >> jesse: you're seeing the cat and mouse now. kirby smart wants to see what georgia tech will line up in, what the personnel is going to be. now they have an opportunity to rethink their strategy defensively as well. this is just how you envision clean, old-fashioned hate coming down to the wire. >> joe: it is. >> jesse: a great rivalry in college football, the 118th meeting between these two teams. >> joe: and then you think about the two programs, the king of the hill, right? the team that won national championships in recent years with georgia. the big goal is recruiting in this part of the country. and then the ascendant program

with brent key, in his second full season at 46 years old and looking for what would be their third top ten win this year alone and a georgia team with a 25 straight night games at home. remember what it means to him. he says there is nothing i hate more in the world than georgia. he's lived it. he's played in it. he's coached in it. and now a chance for an upset win in it. 4th and 1. seven seconds remain. ball is batted away. now four seconds remain. and georgia will take over. >> jesse: wow. cj allen knocks that ball down. if it doesn't, that will get caught at the 40 yard line by rutherford, and they will get a chance to make the kick. great play by allen. we have seen him on blitzes on that drive. that one hits him right in the face like the volleyball player.

just puts it right down at the ground with the net. now it looks like carson beck will get one more heave, one more chance. he's definitely got the arm strength to reach the end zone. this game sure has delivered today. >> joe: and a time-out is going to be used by kirby jesse, when this thing was 17-0 georgia tech, it wasn't just that it was a 17-point bowl. georgia was finding absolutely nothing. they were sloppy. they couldn't find their rhythm offensively. they were hopeless. >> jesse: think about it, dropping passes on third down, fumbling on promising drive, missing field goals, you name it, defense couldn't get off the

field. but in the second half, the offense started to find a rhythm in critical moments, coming up with that massive forced fumble. getting the ball out of haynes king's hands, that was the play of the game. the hit by dan jackson, the recovery by chambliss, that's the play of the game so far that gave georgia new life. >> joe: they're lining up three defensive backs along the goal line for what will be a miracle heave from carson beck. ball is stripped out. that was scott biggers caving in on carson beck. and that is the end of regulation in what has been a wildly entertaining fourth quarter that now heads to

overtime to define clean, old-fashioned hate. 27 apiece.

but i think i've aged you well. some might say perfect. so who's ready to show them who's the cheesiest?! i woke up feeling the cheesiest coach! cheese! cheese! cheese! cheez-it! official sponsor of the college football playoff! >> each team gets a possession starting at the opponent's 25 yard line. if it goes to a second start at the 25 yard line, but must attempt a two-point conversion after the touchdown with no extra points allowed. from the third overtime now, teams alternate from the three yard line until the game is decided. >> joe: you see carson beck

getting ready for overtime. georgia has rallied back. number 17 in the country trying to land a spot in the college football playoff, if they can beat their in-state rivals georgia tech. georgia tech was up 17-0. georgia tech was up by two touchdowns with 5:30 left to play. >> go to a third, alternate possession, whoever wins after that. you are the visiting team. head, tail, what is your call? >> heads. >> heads is the call. >> defense. >> you want defense. which way do you want to go? >> okay. georgia will go this way. georgia tech will play defense. >> joe: you know, there was some concern with carson beck after that last play of

k katie. >> katie: we have seen him stretching his right arm. he's been holding his elbow, shaking it out. we have seen him grimace over here on the sideline, so there is definitely some discomfort there in his throwing arm as we head to over time. >> jesse: yeah, katie. and he's played so well here in the second half. kpa and so here we go. just the fourth overtime in series history, in a series that dates back to 1893. and georgia tech winning the coin toss, opting to play defense first. you always want to know what you need when it is your turn to go on offense. >> joe: or each team get it is ball at the 25 yard line with the attempt to score. and this is phillips. he is upended at about the 22,

like clayton powell-lee. >> jesse: yeah. generally the best overtime tees are the best red zone teams and usually are the best running teams. at this point in the game, everybody is tired. everybody is banged up. you might have a quarterback that might be dealing with an arm issue after that hit. georgia trying to get that run game established here early. >> joe: three touchdowns in the second half for carson beck to rally his team all the way back. number seven georgia trying to land a spot in the college football playoff. 2nd and 7th, first overtime. hit frazier. frazier nearly slipped and then he is tied up, wrapped around that ankle. >> jesse: yeah. he just fought right through xavier truss that time. he had truss pulling to the outside. and tatum literally ran right through the block. watch this. right there. he ducks underneath it and stays on his feet and makes a tremendous tackle.

>> joe: he always comes in at running back for third down. >> jesse: he's a big weapon right here. nothing is open dean down the field, find the check down. if cash jones can get out, he's a huge weapon here. >> joe: first overtime. carson beck with time. he goes underneath to him and cash jones is able to haul it in for a first down georgia. >> jesse: well, a great job that time because georgia tech is not blitzing it. they look like they are. this is a guy that's covering him on the option route to the outside. now i've got my matchup i want. cash jones, to me, one of the best route running running backs in the entire country. really good job there executing on third down. >> joe: jones will stay in the back field and the true freshman sensation, nate frazier. >> jesse: little indicator of motion there, showing carson beck it's zone coverage. >> joe: looks his way, pumps.

to the end zone and into the end zone is touchdown dogs! >> jesse: a great job by carson beck, and a lovely play call there by mike bobo. you are faking the screen outside. you just through a pass to catch jones. you pump fake that. you are just trying to freeze and hold some defenders in the back end for georgia tech. and a line drive throw from carson beck to the vandy transfer london humphreys. >> joe: peyton woodring, the extra point. georgia's first lead of the game comes in overtime number one. >> jesse: you're faking this. you are trying to get some bite

here to open up a space humphreys to work the wheel route. mike does a good job of throwing things, setting things up, adding window dressing, adding some pump fakes. this had to be a line drive. you talk about the first round arm talent by beck. that thing was a frozen rope. whether his arm is okay or not, it looked pretty good on that last throw there. >> joe: and now how does georgia tech respond? haynes king, the quarterback, who was injured in the middle of the season, who courageously fought back, who helped pull the upset over the number four miami and tonight has carried the ball for 22 times over 100 yards, it's time to

must score to send us to a second overtime. the wall of sound at sanford stadium right now. >> false start, offense number 72. five yard penalty, first down. >> joe: you just got the best of the yellow jackets. >> jesse: a little flinch after the shift in motion. you see there with the football, he's trying to simulate a snap. it backs georgia tech even further in this critical

situation. >> joe: king able to get it to his tight end hawes, as he muscles ahead. >> jesse: it is the fake to haynes in the back field that will freeze these three defenders. that allows him to sneak out underneath. just a slow mesh, just trying to keep georgia's defenders in the middle of the field stationary enough to get the tight end some leverage outside. >> joe: 2nd and 1. haynes king quarterback run. off left tackle, and he spins ahead for a first down from georgia tech. >> jesse: well, you have to like your chances at this end of the field based on how well they have been able to run the football with haynes king. how many more tackles can this guy take? 23 carries now in this game.

beaten and bruised. he's going to need an ice bath when this game is over. but they need him now more than ever. >> joe: he has carried them. he has fought. georgia tech must score haynes trying to get extra yardage as he whittles his way down to the 12th yard line. >> jesse: georgia starting to do a better job now defending this zone read. they're crashing down on the handoff and getting guys to replace unless haynes king decides to keep it himself. you see jamal haynes. we have seen him limp off the field a few times. he's one of their biggest weapons offensively. this is not the time you want number 11 on the sideline. >> joe: he has 91 yards himself. so he's out, and chad alexander comes in on 2nd and 8.

haynes king to pass. and they got it. eric singleton touchdown! >> jesse: it looked like a pick play. hawes trying to run a seam route up the field, and that opened up some space for eric singleton to work up underneath. he's just so explosive, joe. he's so sudden after he makes the catch. able to turn it up. we said at the start of the claim, number 2 had to get touches. they have been finding ways to do that, both running and catching the football. >> joe: to tie the game, aidan birr. and we will head to a second overtime. now in the second overtime, remember, teams have to attempt

a two-point conversion. that drama still to come.

>> it's what a great >> joe: this is what a great rivalry was supposed to look like. the second overtime. teams that score a touchdown, you must attempt a two-point conversion after a touchdown. we get to a third overtime, we're just going to alternate two-point conversion attempts. well, let's see how things play out here. what an incredible fourth quarter and overtime we have had so far. >> jesse: georgia tech, after just scoring, they will go first now here in the second overtime period. >> joe: a chilly night here in att athens, georgia. number 17 in the country trying to get into the college playoffs

with a win. alexander with a tackle by cj allen. >> jesse: jamal haynes is not out there. we saw him limp off the field on that last possession. one of their biggest play makers not out there right now. they need chad alexander to really step up in this area of the field. >> joe: there is jamal hawes. i don't know if he looks the same since they threw the deep pass to him. >> jesse: right, right. >> joe: he was limping. malik rutherford now in the back field. the wide receiver playing running back as they fake it and rutherford thought about throwing it. now he runs it inside the 10. ball came out at the end as he is marked down at the one yard line. he recovered his own fumble. watch what happens here. >> jesse: dawkins, the defensive line man for georgia who at

first wasn't pursuing the play. for a guy that's 280 pounds, he actually walked down malik rutherford and bats it away with his left hand. georgia tech is so lucky that georgia tech was able to jump on that. >> joe: alexander back in at running back. haynes king is going to get in. georgia tech re-takes the lead here in the second overtime. and, remember, they must go for two. >> jesse: and it was the fade toss that affected three different georgia defenders here. they're all going with alexander to the outside. and it opened up a big crease right there for haynes king to get north and get into the end zone. >> joe: haynes king has 110 yards rushing, three rushing touchdowns. >> jesse: we have said it over and over. i mean, this has to be the best

game he's ever played. the circumstance is him coming back from injury, a rivalry game on the road and doing it running and throwing the football. he's been outstanding. >> joe: time-out is going to be used by georgia tech. brett key talking things over with the official. >> jesse: he's used to seeing touchdown and saying go for the extra point. no, no, no. second ot, you've got to go for two. >> joe: so the time-out used -- >> jesse: joe, if you are buster faulkner here, obviously the best players have to touch the football, right? over and over and over again it's been haynes king. but eric singleton has been making a lot of plays in this one, too. he's touched it 12 different

times. both catching and running the ball. >> joe: buster faulkner, the offensive coordinator, who was on the georgia staff when they won the two national championships and now here he is, returning to athens with his offense doing this to kirby smart's defense. here's the two-point conversion. king, ball is batted. and incomplete. london got involved. daniel harris tried to chase it. >> jesse: well, you see a lot of offenses do this. horizontally down in motion, it is often a quick screen. you get behind the blocks and get upfield. a great job of reck mission that time by harris on the back end and mondon. by the way, on that last

neither was on the field. >> joe: his team has a six-point lead. 303 passing yards and two passing touchdowns. 110 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. 400 plus total yards and five touchdowns. second overtime now, offensive possession georgia. carson beck to pass. late pressure. lofts it. and into the end zone is cash jones. touchdown cash jones! and it's now a two-point attempt to victory. >> jesse: that's a coverage bust on the back end that time by georgia tech. cash jones is running the wheel route. clayton powell-lee at safety is coming on the blitz. he sees jones come out of the back field. he's like, do i cover him? i'm supposed to keep blitzing and there is nobody on the back

end. not only do they not cover the guy on the back end, but because powell-lee hesitated, it bought time for carson beck to get rid of that football, a huge mistake. >> joe: this to keep the 30-game home winning streak alive and the seniors who have never lost a home game. will they complete the rally and the comeback. incomplete. we're going to a third overtime. landon humphreys was the intended target. >> jesse: wow. and it looked like humphreys was open earlier than carson beck threw it. and georgia tech ends up making the play they need, forcing the incompletion. we're far from over in this one, going to a third ot in clean, old-fashioned hate.

>> they've bn >> joe: 117 times. this is now with three overtimes, the longest game in series history. georgia won six straight in this rivalry. they won 29 straight home games. now it will be alternating two-point attempts starting with georgia. from the three yard line, carson beck. pocket collapsing. throws it to the end zone, and it is incomplete. so now georgia techl get >> jesse: we just saw lee have a mistake on that blitz. look at him climb the ladder and knock that one down with his left hand. that's a phenomenal play by the junior safety.

>> joe: georgia tech wins, if they can get this two-point conversion successful. can they knock off the number seven team in the country? >> jesse: this time jamal haynes and eric singleton on the field. their most explosive and dynamic play makers are out there. weren't on the last possession, but here they are now. >> sideline warning against georgia. >> joe: georgia failed on their last attempt, so that opens the door for the yellow jackets. >> jesse: we go passed the cat and mouse game.

faulkner had three years on kirby's staff, winning two national championships in quality control. he was an air raid guy. for ten years as an offensive coordinator. learned a lot of pro principals. he has blended that together. and putting 40 points up on a kirby smart defense is just unbelievable. it was a beautiful game up to this point because he had one more play on that play sheet, something more that he can go to here with the game on the line. >> joe: here we go. georgia tech, attempting to win it right here. and a time-out is called by kirby smart and the dogs, third

overtime. an indication of how well play callers and defensive coach know each other, the tendencies, the schemes, how they play it. here's faulkner, his second season at georgia tech after he here in athens with so much success against kirby smart. >> jesse: it is amazing. normally when you go into a game, you might have two or three plays ready. now with the rules the way they are, you have to have six, seven, eight, especially in situations like this. he may have just been on his fifth or sixth play call. kirby smart calls time-out. and he's just thinking, i can't do that anymore. i just lined up and they say what i was going to do potentially, so now you have to go even deeper.

>> joe: georgia tech for the win. can king find it? no! we are going to a fourth overtime. >> jesse: it was singleton with the corner route. efford in coverage. a little bit of pressure from dawe ckins forces an errand thr. and now we're going to a fourth overtime here in georgia. >> joe: and we'll bring it to you.

>> joe: 4th overtime is coming up. remember, they will just alternate two-point conversion attempts until we get the winner.

georgia tech on offense first in this fourth overtime. haynes king incomplete. he was trying to get it to jackson hawes. and a flag is down at the 5 yard line. >> there is no foul for roughing the passer. >> jesse: it was mykel williams that came in from the right hand side and gave hawes a shot in the back. he beats the right tackle to the inside. they get no call.

>> joe: and now georgia with carson beck. they struggled early tonight. they rallied late. they have overcome so much adversity. the 30-game home winning streak on the line. win this, and you're in the college football playoff. then you play for the s.e.c. championship next week. can they do it right here? >> jesse: it is like man coverage. you have cash jones again out of the back field. >> joe: beck to win the game, extending the play. flag is down as he is taken down inside the five yard line. >> jesse: yeah, it is going to be xavier truss at right tackle. >> holding offense number 73. that penalty is declined. try is no good. >> joe: so both teams strike out

again? >> jesse: both teams have given up 40 points, but defense has been good here for both sides. backs up against the wall. and at this point, it's just who wants it more. everybody has got to be so physically exhausted. >> joe: yes. >> jesse: you have to be emotionally exhausted. >> joe: what's left in the gas tank? >> jesse: what's left in the gas tank? in a rivalry game like this, and it's just gone down to the wire, someone is going to step up and make the play to win this game. the question is who do they play for? >> joe: next week, georgia will be playing for the s.e.c. championship against either texas or texas a&m. that game is coming up tomorrow night on abc. that should be so fence. this in state rivalry in all the

rich history that goes along with it has completely overdone itself done. >> jesse: last year's game and brett key's first season was a great game. this one is an instant classic. and i think it only gets better from here. >> joe: keys not afraid to say what he thinks of georgia. that is how he opened up the night. cash jones is split out to the near side. fifth overtime, two-point conversion attempt and pressure. they pick it up and they get the two point conversion! >> jesse: great route that time by dillon bell. he has to cross the face of a corner back that has inside leverage. he has to use speed and quickness inside the ball to

beat him inside right there. great job. nice, accurate throw out front. it is dillon bell working against morell. the pressure is now back on haynes king and georgia tech. >> joe: fifth overtime. must convert to extend this game. they are roaring in athens. if their defense holds here, a 10-2 georgia team is in the college football playoff for sure. or will georgia tech have a little more magic left? to tie the game and six

overtimes, they do it. >> jesse: this is a slow-developing play. coming all the way over from the right hand side, and haynes king has to hold on to this. the drag is coming from this way. to his left, survey the field. nice accur coverage. again, haynes king able to answer the call. >> jesse: if you are wondering, the record is nine overtimes. we're heading to the sixth. 42-42. >> joe: jesse, this rivalry weekend, we get something like this, and then you line up that schedule tomorrow. how great is college football? i mean, just how great is college football. >> jesse: if this is the emmy's boost for rivalry weekend, this is unbelievable. man, i don't care.

rivalry games, you can take the records. you can take the statistics. you can just throw them out because crazy stuff happens. and we've seen so many great examples of that here in this game tonight, so many different ebbs and flows and momentum shifts and swings. and this thing going right down to the wire. like you said a moment ago, joe, who's got enough left in the tank? >> joe: so georgia tech will open up with the two-point attempt for our sixth overtime. haynes king just hit rutherford moments ago. shifts him over to the right side here to start our sixth overtime. >> jesse: i have seen kirby do this a lot. >> joe: a time-out will be called by georgia. >> jesse: he's letting them get lined up. he's seeing the personnel groupings. he's seeing the shifts in motions. and he's getting an opportunity

to talk it over and come up with a better play call. that's worked for him here in these overtime periods. >> joe: by the way, the temperature has dipped dramatically from the start of this game. >> jesse: isn't it crazy? it feels like minutes ago georgia fans were leaving the stadium. the game was over, they thought. >> joe: georgia fans were leaving the stadium in the fourth quarter. in the fourth quarter, after georgia came back to make it 20-13. haynes king had a magnificent drive. it was 27-13 georgia tech with 5:30 to play and georgia fans started leaving the stadium. all of a sudden, carson beck brought his team back. there was a huge turnover. he brought them back again to tie the game. sixth overtime. haynes king pressure up the middle on king. and they get him! they get him! it was dan jackson.

he had the play of the game with the forced fumble and now the sack in the sixth overtime. >> jesse: it's the safety blitz. and it's right guard keelen rutledge that decides to help out his right tackle. this crease right up the field or dan jackson. what a game he has had. kirby smart calling the time-out, seeing what georgia tech was going to line up in. decides to get aggressive, dialing up the safety blitz and it pays off. and it just takes one, takes one play here for georgia's offense to guarantee their spot in the college football playoff. >> joe: and by the way, dan jackson, one of those seniors who has never lost a game here at home. for the win.

oh my! arian smith drops it. >> jesse: that's the second big drop by arian smith in this game. he just lost concentration. dillon bell goes up. clayton powell-lee goes up. he tipped it. >> joe: it was tipped by bell. >> jesse: you can't put that on. >> joe: no, you can't. >> jesse: i think dillon bell thought that was intended for him and he went up and actually tipped the pass, a wide open arian smith in the back of the end zone unable to come up with it. >> joe: in 2021, illinois defeated penn state in a record nine overtimes. this was not much of a thriller on the scoreboard. it was 20-18. this is 42-42. 7 overtimes. >> jesse: how many plays left are on the play sheet now. >> joe: that's what i was just about to ask you. >> jesse: and buster faulkner. >> joe: you have gone through

the play book. you wrapped it around. >> jesse: you are writing down plays on your sheet because you have literally run through everything you have. >> joe: they have seen everything you've got. you have seen everything they have. >> jesse: and now it is just who can -- who can create on the fly? who can improvise? who can go off script and try to stay one step ahead? >> joe: they have played every season since 1925, except for the covid year. the 117th meeting. and it is an all-time, all-time classic. seventh overtime. straight ahead. trying to fight for it, but was denied. >> jesse: now they go on the ground with the quarterback run. i think it was omar daniels, who was first there to make the stop. yep, he's able to pick him up off the ground. >> joe: what did you think of

the play call, jesse? >> jesse: i like it. honestly, at this point, i don't know who else you can do if you are mike bobo. they're tight windows. carson beck now getting off the field a little gingerly, too. everybody is beat up in this game. >> joe: so now georgia tech wins this game if they get the two-pointer here. >> jesse: so here's a question. you just saw georgia try the quarterback run. would georgia tech go back to haynes king here inside the five yard line for his 25th rushing attempt? >> joe: he has been the most reliable option offensively for them all night long. five total touchdowns and a whole lot of magic. >> jesse: he did it again. >> joe: why not? >> jesse: did it again. >> joe: and how casual was kirby, by the way? hands in the pocket. >> jesse: why not? you get one every overtime period. why not? at this point, if you are buster

faulkner, you should send out a phony personnel groupings. seriously. send out 11 offensive line men out there because he will call a time-out to try to see what you are in. >> joe: here is the play caller, buster faulkner. and it has been a chess match with his old boss, kirby smart. georgia has won six straight in this series. they have won 30 consecutive home games. that is the second longest streak in s.e.c. history. >> jesse: i bet georgia tries to heat him up again. you saw dan jackson with the sack, trying to get smaller, fast guys after haynes king. see if they could split this offensive line that has done a great job in pass protection all yearlong, but kirby smart wants to be aggressive. >> joe: look at this formation. they offset the offensive li

king to the end zone for the win. no! smile london with coverage of jackson hawes. there is a flag! >> jesse: yeah, had him wrapped around the shoulder. i don't know where buster faulkner found that formation. >> pass interference defense. ball will be placed at the one yard line. >> joe: so they will put the ball on the one yard line now, and that will be for the win. >> jesse: yeah. here's hawes lined up here. here's mondon. this is one-on-one. he's trying to communicate to everybody, get in line against this crazy weird foundation. but right there, it was the left arm around the left shoulder of georgia tech's tight ends. >> joe: you just said what plays do they even have left? they have that one left. all right. here we go, folks.

seventh overtime. will it be seven heaven for georgia tech? yellow jackets for the win if they get this. king going to try to get it himself, and he is denied by cj allen. stone walled! >> jesse: chaz chambliss absolutely blew this play up. they're trying to get the edge. watch him and this collision right here. absolutely stones this. there is no chance for haynes king to cut back inside. cj allen there to step up and make the stop. i am impressed with how both of these defenses, they just keep playing so hard that they got to be exhausted. brett key is exhausted. he's getting a double hamstring stretch on the sidelines. where we at
